About Ron: Ron Rice, the owner of Ron Rice Painting & Consulting (RRPC), is a painting veteran with over 30 years of experience. In 1987, he started painting part-time while juggling college courses. He discovered that he had a knack for the craft of painting and enjoyed helping others reach their vision for their home and office projects. After a stint as a foreman for Woods Painting in Nashville, Tennessee, he ventured out on his own and started Changes Painting. After his success in Nashville, Ron traded the cold winters of the Southeast for the endless sun of San Diego, and in late 2000, he founded Ron Rice Painting & Consulting. Since then, Ron and his team have completed thousands of jobs. From new construction to remodels to everything in between, Ron and his team would love to be your choice of professional painters in San Diego County. Contact us today to learn how we can deliver the best value in residential or commercial painting. Family & the Community: Outside of the office, Ron dedicates time to family–his two amazing daughters, Machalla and Sadie; a beautiful granddaughter, Mila; his talented wife, Tori; and his rescued fur-kids–two dogs (Tigre and Blanco) and two cats (OC Freddie and Bowie). An active Rotarian, Ron sits on the board of his Rotary Club, La Mesa Sunrise Rotary, and can often be spotted around town doing service work. Sometimes you can find him onstage–either singing and playing guitar with his rock band, A Month of Sundays, or doing improv comedy at local clubs.
